I examine how the representation of paternal figures is informed by Collodi’s pedagogical approach in his schoolbooks. Within the Italian nation-building, which had cultural and ideological nuances, the family was considered essential, and the padre played an undisputed authoritarian role. However, my analysis demonstrates how Collodi’s schoolbooks subvert that ideology through representing the dysfunctional paternal figure. 2022-09-15T20:08:07Z 2022-09-15T20:08:07Z 2022 chapter ONIX_20220915_9788855185974_118 2420-8361 9788855185974 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58322 eng Biblioteca di Studi di Filologia Moderna application/pdf Attribution 4.0 International 978-88-5518-597-4_6.pdf https://books.fupress.com/doi/capitoli/978-88-5518-597-4_6 Firenze University Press 10.36253/978-88-5518-597-4.06 10.36253/978-88-5518-597-4.06 bf65d21a-78e5-4ba2-983a-dbfa90962870 9788855185974 66 18 Florence open access
